Any of you fuckers starting Storm Johnson today?

Thinking of putting him at FLEX over McKinnon and Boldin...

[alpha]

I swear if natty wins another game in keeper ball 80-70 I'm gonna lose my shit.

@Dwight
for what it's worth I picked him up in dynasty league. He's better than gerhart for what that's worth but that oline is horrible

Im saving my points up for when I need them

[alpha]

This is the kind of shit I'm talking about. 2 games left and I'm down 129-138 and natty is having a real barn burner 80-100. My only hope is Riley fucking cooper.

[naturalborn103]

If it makes you feel better I am definitely losing. Guy I am playing has 4 people left and I just have a kicker.

[alpha]

I lost 137-139 no I don't feel better.

[Ramen]

Lesean back?
Hopefully my seasons back.
GIO been trying to put my team on his back.

[unclebengi]

I lost 137-139 no I don't feel better.

Sorry for ya...woulda been worse if I would've kept Jordan Matthews in there instead of picking up Hester. Natty will get his come upance for low ball wins (as he did this week), but he's also got that sleeping giant Josh Gordon on the bench. I got Gordon in a couple spots but I'm shitty I don't have him in that league after giving him up as a keeper. The way Hoyer & the Browns are looking Gordon gets more valuable by the day.

Won all 5 of my fantasy leagues this week largely because of owning Hilton in every league. Bradshaw's been huge for me in multiple leagues as well, as long as they're healthy they're Luck's 2 preferred skill position fantasy plays.

[alpha]

oh that was you. had I started Cameron, who I wasn't gonna start anyway, it would've been a big swing in my favor. Honestly, I just want some normalization, most of the leagues over the last two years I've been in the top 3 in points against. It's not often you put up over 130 and lose.

[zappy]

In my opinion you shouldn't start a guy in that flex spot on a Thursday. Good to have that flexibility going into Sunday.

yeah but my RBs are matt forte and leveon bell, so if i'm gonna play an RB in the flex, it might have to happen on a thursday

[zappy]

also belicheck can suck my dick

Sorry...

as long as you realize how lucky you've been. prior to this week.

[naturalborn103]

as long as you realize how lucky you've been. prior to this week.

I just won (barring stat correction) in both leagues I am in. One I won by .22 the other by .6.

[alpha]

are we going to do this every week? lol
I cant speak on your other league but you won by .22 in keeperball. Coming into the week you had nearly 70 points scored against you less the next person and over 100 less scored than the team after him.

I keep bringing this up because I'm jealous.

and at most of the teams now called smelly ass, cunt, etc...

[unclebengi]

Yeah, I joined that private parts team re-branding. Didn't want to be carpet munching that Smelly Taint so I had to hit it with the Sweaty Dick.

on another note, anybody playing Fanduel (or other weekly fantasy football)? I just started this year and I'm loving the shit out of it. I made an initial $200 deposit that they would match. It was shitty to find out they pay out the bonus pennies at a time based on how many contests you enter, but oh well. I lost all $200 the first couple weeks before I understood all the different formats and such. Put another $20 up and broke even a couple weeks, then doubled my money 4 weeks in a row. This week I won $500 off a $1 tourney entry for finishing 4th out of 23,000. I'll be playing with house money the rest of the year and putting 70-80% of my money in 50/50 leagues where you just have to finish in the top 50 out of 100 to double up. I can double up weekly at a high rate while still giving myself a shot at some big payouts in low entry fee tourneys.

re fan duel
Oh shit. Shit is ril. Huh. What are the different formats? You're fucking telling me you double your money in 50/100 leagues? Shut up. That's unreal.

I know, I am qouting it cause I agree. Romo coming back in at the end of the game saved me in our league. Those extra 20 something yards won me the week.

Smelly Era > Alpha Era

[naturalborn103]

That fanduel thing sounds fun. I need to try it out sometime.

Pretty much. In the true 50/50's they take 10% off the top, so a $5 entry pays out $9 if you finish in the top 50. They also have double ups where they'll be like 2100/2200 entrys or so but the top 1000 truly double up. The larger entry fee 50/50's have smaller pools, I prefer the $5 50/50's as the pools are as large as 100 and increase your odds.

Generally, if you can win 2/3s of your 50/50's or double ups you can be very successful at Fanduel. I've heard good things about Draft Kings too (they use PPR, fanduel uses .5 PPR), but I'm still earning bonus money from fanduel so I'm sticking there for now. Draft Kings also allows you to make last minute lineup swaps whereas on Fanduel, once one player on your team starts your lineup locks.

By making the 50/50s, or cash games as they call them, your foundation, you can use 20-30% of you weekly budget on high upside tourneys. Making $500 of $1 was sweet, but if I would have used that lineup in the $10 or $25 tourney I entered I'd be sitting on stacks right now.

If anyone's thinking of giving it a shot, Rotogrinders is a must visit site. A wealth of info/advice pertaining to daily fantasy.

[alpha]

Think I'm gonna check this out more. Have the draft Kings app anyway.

[naturalborn103]

Just realized I lost in keeper league last week on a stat correction

Fantasy note, Adam Schefter picked up Adrian Peterson in his fantasy league. Schefty has a few close contacts in AP's Camp

Pick him up!!!!

[ric]

bros
in dynasty league shady and maclin are owned by the same dude. I want them both or at least one of them. basically I offered Ingram Bennett alshon and Marshall for shady and maclin and maybe somebody else to even out the loss of players. no go. Dude said he will hold onto them and play out the season. he is stalling for time because he has no shot at championship and I'm in last place and at this point I'm purposely tanking starting this week so either Gurley or mariota or jameis will be mine. decent chance that both maclin and shady have better stats with sanchize in play or shady could take hit. due to more rb rotation. possible but improbable that both will take a hit in stats in the sanchize era

[alpha]

do.not.do.that.trade

how are you in last place? ingram has been a beast lately.

[ric]

@alpha
I'm in last because I have a lot of developmental dudes in dynasty and that's where I'm coming from here. why not obtain shady and maclin? cut is gonna cut. that's the issue. I'll keep martellus because a premium te is hard to find. I agree that maclin is this years sauce but I'd give up basically anything to get shady

in dynasty league I picked up sproles I drafted eagles d I traded keenan Allen to get Jordan matthews (haters gonna hate) I picked up Polk and I picked up ridley Cooper (huge bench) as like some just in case shit. but I'm out of roster spots to get huff. honestly though. the only question is what's going to happen in the draft. Oh yeah I picked up sanchize. dropped cut
